'Why do you keep banging on about rival bidders when its pretty certain that won't happen and this train stops at 30p!'

AI Overview

"Many a slip between the cup and the lip" means that even when success seems certain, things can still go wrong before completion, warning against overconfidence and highlighting the uncertainty of outcomes..... It signifies that potential problems or failures can occur in the final moments, from a literal spill to a major setback, showing things aren't guaranteed until they're fully done.

Key Meanings

Uncertainty: A potential outcome isn't final until it actually happens.

Warning: Don't get too excited or complacent because things can still fall apart.

Destiny/Fate: Sometimes external forces or unexpected events intervene to change the result.

Example Usage

Someone is about to win a race, but stumbles at the finish line, illustrating the proverb perfectly.

Origin

The proverb has ancient roots, appearing in Greek and Latin, and was popularized in English by Richard Taverner's 1539 translation of Erasmus's Adagia.

It's often linked to a Greek myth where a man, warned by a seer he'd die before drinking his wine, was killed by a boar while rushing to taste it, proving the prophecy true

Tim,

While I was looking into this your post seems to have vanished. or I've lost the correct thread. From memory you wrote 'we already know it works from the photo' or similiar.

Anyway,

I was able to easily search this as I sent the link to the SGC guy in the USA. Here's a description:

· Rapid and complete regression of large skin and visceral metastasis was observed in a 74-year-old male patient experiencing a MR, despite low to mid-level FAP expression in the cancer-associated fibroblasts alone. A 15% reduction in parotid and lymph nodal lesions continues at the12 weeks post scan. This patient began treatment in September 2024 following two prior lines of therapy to which he experienced disease progression with both therapies prior to enrolling in the AVA6000 trial.

But the photo eludes me as I believe it was part of the deck at that time and the link no longer works:

And the reaction in the SP suggests to me that the strange timing of the RNSs no longer catches people out into making hasty decisions on buying. Someone said that the news releases are timed from the USA but it's 5am in NYC.

'Until there's a third party endorsement'; Vertizia, son, you're right.

Widely reported on the BBC (and by others I assume) and probably watched by many on here, the story was initially reported in 2022 but yesterday's 'cancer free' was based on review in a medical journal and accompanied by interview with very fortunate girl and her family.

‘Not sure Avacta would qualify for the NASDAQ one major hurdle is making a profit.’

Not researched that or clicked on the link but held shares in (very much) loss-making 4D and Tils which both listed on the Nasdaq.

4D subsequently went bust (so much for NASDAQ’s Midas touch) and $TLSA has frustrated shareholders in the years since, though now showing very promising signs.

I nearly replied to that post as I thought it - or another one in the thread did - lightheartedly suggested 'half-life' subject could liven up the dabate on a quiet day.

Anyway I moved on without posting as all I was going to suggest as another subject (should Anthea Turner be on a glamour calendar? = NO!!!) but the link to the thread was this:

https://www.lse.co.uk/ShareChat.html?ShareTicker=AVCT&share=Avacta-Group&thread=B0A89B03-E330-4FD6-B886-71009A99CD18&reply=true

and is to a page no longer available.

I guess someone deemed the 'half-life' subject contentious and complained.

I mentioned the guy on Focus IR always looking down. In a bored moment I wrote to them, being fed up with the top-of-his-head view.

Today I notice he's repositioned his camera and 'eye contact' has arrived.

A small victory?

I wonder if they will combine with a retail offer raise and we can get a few extra shares without all the FX fees. Presumably they wouldn't spin-off unless that had some confidence and I dare say that at some point they'll be 'up' even if only briefly, like ACUT – so far.

That makes sense but then they could also license out and avoid the initial costs of setting up the spin offs. Anyway, we know very little and it is what it is.

I find it slightly strange to keep spinning off. Big pharma companies don't spin off every new drug, they build a portfolio. There must be a bigger advantage to the management than there will be to us, but who knows and what can we do. It will mean all those new salaries for new management. Are they so busy they can't focus on 3 drugs at a time?
